MHN 3 || Nothing More

~Nadia and Xylan~•

Nadia gained consciousness and suddenly felt a heavy load on her head as if something was trying to crush her skull, she tried to open her eyes but they burned. Her body ached and as she attempted to move her hands, she realized that she couldn't. Her hands were restrained and she realized so were her legs.

Her lips felt swollen and her mouth dry, she willed herself to open her eyes, fighting the burning sensation. Darkness met her open eyes and she squinted at a ray of light coming from the far end of the room she found herself in.

She tried to adjust herself to a better position but as her eyes adjusted to the dark, she realized that she was in a cage, the weight she felt over her head was the roof of the cage as she was made to awkwardly fit in a small box. Her arms were tied to the bars that made up the four walls of the box, her knees were touching her face and her legs were firmly pressed to the base.

She opened her mouth to speak something but no words came out.

She heard some voices and she could hear people arguing along with the sound of the footsteps as they approached closer. She looked towards the door which was opened slightly.

Suddenly, the door was slammed open and she blinked as harsh bright light invaded her eyes.

"Take her out, will you? You had no rights whatsoever to keep her like that when I was the one who was given the permission to have her." She heard a disembodied voice.

"Oh, aren't you caring way too much for this one?"

"We do what we do but we don't hurt innocents Blair."

"Correction Xylan, you don't hurt innocents. I don't give a fuck really." The voice snarled.

"Oh, so you won't have a problem with me killing your sister then, will you? She has done nothing but creates trouble for us from the very beginning."

"Don't bring family into this Xylan, I don't want to punch you."

"Like hell, I am gonna let you do that! She was at the wrong place at the wrong time just like your sister. And you are not going to touch this one."

Nadia heard someone walking closer to her cell and she heard metal clinking and realized that one of them was trying to fix a key into the lock to set her free. Judging from what she heard, she expected him to be Xylan.

"And what about you then Xylan? What are you gonna do to her, let her go and run her pretty mouth to the police, or would you magically make her memory disappear?"

She felt her arms being released and the next second, one of her arms was snatched violently, making her lose her balance. She would have fallen down if it wasn't for the support she got on her back from her captor's chest as he engulfed his arms around her tiny waist.

"I will figure something out. I am not killing an innocent."

"Oh, give me a break! If you don't then I will. We will all end up dead one day because of your stupid principles. You aren't very different from your father, are you? I am not gonna risk everyone's life for this stupid bitch."

If Nadia didn't feel this weak, she would have kicked this person in the balls but she felt tired, exhausted and her legs felt like jelly, she just couldn't support herself anymore.

Xylan clenched his hands into tight fists, it took all his power to restrain himself at the moment from killing that piece of trash. He had to think of a plan to get her away, he wouldn't take the blood of another innocent on his shoulders. It would haunt him for days.

"I will take her to my place." Nadia felt his chest rumble against her back when he spoke and she found herself feeling mildly attracted to the voice. If it was a different situation, she would have drooled at the way she was being held. But it wasn't and she was scared.

"Now I see, how you play, you bastard! You are gonna keep her as your sex doll when you know that you aren't allowed to have sex with a person more than once. Do I need to read those fucking rules out again for you?"

"You know Blair, I don't give a fuck about the rules. The rules aren't against fucking a woman, they are against falling in love with one. So you can fuck off. As you so kindly stated, I want her as my fuck toy, that's about it." That shut Blair up and he seethed in anger, staying in the corner.

Nadia felt herself losing all hope of escaping this, how did she even end up here. She was suddenly pushed away and twirled in his arms so fast that she crashed into his chest. She smelled his cologne - it was something she could only describe as manly and raw. It pleased her but then she snapped into her senses and looked up at him, trying to pull herself away from him.

"Please-" She froze as her eyes met with his deep grey ones. They seemed like an endless pool of grey and he stared at her in a way that made her feel like she was wide open and he could read her to her core. She needed to snap back in her senses - this guy was planning to rape her after taking her to his place, no matter how hot he looked, he was a rapist.

She struggled in his hold but stilled when his nail dug into her wrists in a warning. "Please let me go." She spoke in a timid voice as her throat burned at the effort.

As soon as the words got out from her mouth, he instantly loosened his hold on her, lose enough for it to not hit but not enough to let her run away. She looked into his eyes and he looked away.

"Am I disturbing a moment Xylan? Did she bewitch you, do you want to marry her and have cute little babies with her now?"

Nadia felt Xylan's form going rigid at his words, what she wasn't expecting was his hands leaving her wrists only to choke her throat.

Nadia gagged at the sudden pressure on her throat, her arms tapping over his to make him release his hold. She felt herself losing consciousness and the last words she heard before everything went black made her wish death right then and there.

"She would be my whore, nothing more."
